Green Mountain Grills App

This project is a silly alternative to the Green Mountain Grills mobile app.

Why?

Well, I like to Grill, and I often utilize the grill overnight when cooking large portions. Unfortunately the GMG mobile app is not a dependable source for alerting me when critical grill events occur (like, the grill is out of fuel/pellets).

Features

1. Slack Alerts
2. Configurable browser alerts sounds
3. Auto connect/reconnect
4. REST API and JS Client for extensions
5. Timers
6. Grill controls (Power, food temp, grill temp)

Configuration

There are number of way to configure the server. You can set env variables in Docker to override any config that is provided in “custom-environment-variables” file located in the config directory. Alternatively, just override the default values set in default.json. The only option that you need to configure is the Slack web hook URL (GMG_ALERTS_SLACK_WEBHOOKURL). If you want to set your own alert sounds, simply override the corresponding mp3 file in the public/alerts directory.

Setup and Run with Docker (Server cannot auto discover the grill, so you must provide it via ENV)

1. Clone this repo
2. Install docker
3. cd into the src directory
4. docker build -t gmg .
5. docker run -it -p 80:80 -e "GMG_GRILL_HOST=xx.xx.xx.xx" -e "GMG_ALERTS_SLACK_WEBHOOKURL=https://your_slack_webhook_address" <GMG_IMAGE_NAME>
   Note: You can omit the GMG_ALERTS_SLACK_WEBHOOKURL env variable if you are not using slack.

Makefile

There is also now a Makefile included that can help simplify some development tasks for the image and iterating on it.

Try make help to get the targets availabile.

.env

To use make run you’ll need to set GMG_GRILL_HOST and optionally GMG_ALERTS_SLACK_WEBHOOKURL or GMG_EXTERNAL_PORT. You can also just put those in a .env file in the base of this project.

Setup and Run without Docker (*nix/mac only - Server will auto discover the grill)

1. Clone this repo
2. Set your slack webhook URL (see above)
3. cd into the src directory
4. ./build.sh
5. cd gmg-server && npm run start:release
6. Optionally start the emulator dotnet bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.1/gmg-emulator.dll

Development and Debugging Setup

1. Ensure you have node v14+, npm, and dotnet core 3.1+ SDK installed
2. Clone this repo
3. Server: Start node and attach to src/gmg-server/bin/www with IDE of choice (VSCode, Atom, WebStorm, etc.)
   1. If using VSCode, open workspace gmg.code-workspace
   2. Open Debug tab and click Start Debugging Debug (gmg-server)
4. UI: (cd src/gmg-app && npm run start) to start the development web server and webpack watch
5. Emulator: Open solution src/gmg-emulator/gmg-emulator.sln with IDE of choice (Rider, VSCode, Visual Studio, etc.)
   1. If using VSCode, open workspace gmg.code-workspace
   2. Open Debug tab and click Start Debugging Debug (gmg-emulator)

Setup and Run on a Raspberry PI with Ubuntu-mate

Install ubuntu-mate on RPi

Update all apt sources:

sudo apt-get update

Install nodejs and npm

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v14.18.0/node-v14.18.0-linux-armv6l.tar.gz
tar -xzf node-v14.18.0-linux-armv6l.tar.gz
cd node-v14.18.0-linux-armv6l/
sudo cp -R * /usr/local/

Ensure nodejs and npm are installed:

node -v
npm -v

Update npm:

sudo npm i -g npm@latest

Pull the Green Mountain Grill App and install:

git clone https://github.com/Aenima4six2/gmg.git
cd /gmg/src
sudo ./build.sh

Start the service:

cd gmg-server && sudo npm run start:release
